The Holy Bible, English Standard Version

Ephesians 6:5-8
<< Ephesians 5 | Ephesians 6 | Philippians 1 >>

Slaves and Masters

Slaves, [1] obey your earthly masters [2] with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as servants [3] of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
